2.Samuel 21 | Библия, синодално издание
1В дните на Давида имаше по земята три години глад, година след година. Давид попита Господа. И Господ каза: това е поради Саула и кръвнишкия му дом, задето изби гаваонци.2Тогава царят повика гаваонците и говори с тях. Гаваонци бяха не от Израилевите синове, а остатъци от аморейци; израилтяните им бяха дали клетва, ала Саул искаше да ги изтреби от ревност към потомците на Израиля и на Иуда.3И Давид каза на гаваонците: какво да направя за вас и с какво да ви примиря, за да благословите наследието Господне?4Гаваонците му отговориха: не ни трябва ни сребро, ни злато от Саула, ни от неговия дом, не ни трябва и да се убива кой да е от Израиля. Той попита: а какво искате? Аз ще сторя за вас.5Те отговориха на царя: от оня човек, който ни погубваше и искаше да ни изтреби, та да ни няма ни в един от Израилевите предели, –6от неговите потомци предай ни седем души, и ние ще ги обесим (посред бял ден) пред Господа в Гива, град на Саула, избраника Господен. И царят каза: ще предам.7Но царят пожали Мемфивостея, син на Ионатана, Сауловия син, поради клетвата в името Господне, която беше между тях, между Давида и Сауловия син Ионатана.8И царят взе Армона и Мемфивостея, двамата синове на Рицпа, дъщеря на Айя, които тя бе родила на Саула, и петте синове на Мелхола, Саулова дъщеря, които бе родила на Адриела, син на мехолатеца Верзелия,9и ги предаде в ръцете на гаваонците, и те ги обесиха (посред бял ден) на планината пред Господа. И загинаха всички тия седем души заедно; те бяха погубени в първите дни на жетвата, начало на ечемичната жетва.10Тогава Рицпа, дъщеря на Айя, взе вретище, постла си го на оная планина и седя отначало на жетвата, докле се изляха върху тях от небето Божиите води, и не оставяше да се докоснат до тях дене птиците небесни и ноще – полските зверове.11И обадиха на Давида, какво е сторила Рицпа, дъщеря на Айя, Саулова наложница. (И те изтляха; прибра ги Дан. син на Иоя, от потомците на исполините.)12Давид отиде, та прибра костите на Саула и костите на сина му Ионатана от жителите на Иавис Галаадски, които ги бяха тайно взели от стъгдата на Бет-Сан, дето филистимци ги бяха обесили, когато филистимци убиха Саула в Гелвуя.13Той пренесе оттам костите на Саула и костите на сина му Ионатана; и събраха костите на обесените (посред бял ден).14И погребаха костите на Саула и на сина му Ионатана, (и костите на обесените посред бял ден) в земята Вениаминова, в Цела, в гроба на баща му Киса. И извършиха всичко, което царят бе заповядал. И след това Бог се смили над страната.15И захвана се пак война между филистимци и израилтяни. И излезе Давид и слугите му с него и воюваха с филистимци; и Давид се умори.16Тогава Иесвий, един от Рефаимовите потомци, чието копие тежеше триста сикли мед и който бе препасан с нов меч, искаше да погуби Давида.17Но Авеса, Саруев син, му помогна, (и Авеса избави Давида) и удари филистимеца и го уби. Тогава Давидовите люде се заклеха и казаха: ти няма вече да излезеш с нас на война, за да не угасне светилото Израилево.18Сетне пак имаше война с филистимци в Гоб; тогава хушатецът Совохай уби Сафута, един от Рефаимовите потомци.19Стана и друга битка в Гоб; тогава Елханан, синът на Ягаре-Оргима Витлеемски, уби гетеца Голиата, комуто дръжката на копието беше колкото тъкарско кросно.20Стана още една битка в Гет; и там имаше един едър човек, тъй също от Рефаимовите потомци, с по шест пръсти на ръцете и на нозете, всичко двайсет и четири.21Той хулеше израилтяните; но Ионатан, син на Сафая, Давидовия брат, го уби.22Тия четирмата бяха от рода на Рефаимовци в Гет, и паднаха от ръката на Давида и на слугите му.
New International Reader’s Version
David makes things right for the people of Gibeon
1For three years in a row there wasn’t enough food in the land. That was while David was king. So David asked the LORD why he wasn’t blessing his people. The LORD said, ‘It is because Saul and his family committed murder. He put the people of Gibeon to death.’2The people of Gibeon weren’t a part of Israel. Instead, they were some of the Amorites who were still left alive. The Israelites had promised to spare them. But Saul had tried to put an end to them. That’s because he wanted to make Israel and Judah strong. So now King David sent for the people of Gibeon and spoke to them.3He asked them, ‘What would you like me to do for you? How can I make up for the wrong things that were done to you? I want you to be able to pray that the LORD will once again bless his land.’4The people of Gibeon answered him. They said, ‘No amount of silver or gold can make up for what Saul and his family did to us. And we can’t put anyone in Israel to death.’ ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ David asked.5They answered the king, ‘Saul nearly destroyed us. He made plans to wipe us out. We don’t have anywhere to live in Israel.6So let seven of the males in his family line be given to us. We’ll kill them. We’ll put their dead bodies out in the open in the sight of the LORD. We’ll do it at Gibeah of Saul. Saul was the LORD’s chosen king.’ So King David said, ‘I’ll give seven males to you.’7The king spared Mephibosheth. He was the son of Jonathan and the grandson of Saul. David had made a promise in front of the LORD. He had promised to be kind to Jonathan and the family line of his father Saul.8But the king chose Armoni and another Mephibosheth. They were the two sons of Aiah’s daughter Rizpah. Saul was their father. The king also chose the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab. Adriel, the son of Barzillai, was their father. Adriel was from Meholah.9King David handed them over to the people of Gibeon. They killed them. They put their dead bodies out in the open on a hill in the sight of the LORD. All seven of them died together. They were put to death during the first days of the harvest. It happened just when people were beginning to harvest the barley.10Aiah’s daughter Rizpah took some rough cloth people wear when they’re sad. She spread it out for herself on a rock. She stayed there from the beginning of the harvest until it rained. The rain poured down from the sky on the dead bodies of the seven males. She didn’t let the birds touch them by day. She didn’t let the wild animals touch them at night.11Someone told David what Rizpah had done. She was Aiah’s daughter and Saul’s concubine.12David went and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. He got them from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead. They had stolen their bodies from the main street in Beth Shan. That’s where the Philistines had hung their bodies up on the city wall. They had done it after they struck Saul down on Mount Gilboa.13David brought the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from Jabesh Gilead. The bones of the seven males who had been killed and put out in the open were also gathered up.14The bones of Saul and his son Jonathan were buried in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. The tomb was at Zela in the territory of Benjamin. Everything the king commanded was done. After that, God answered prayer and blessed the land.
Wars against the Philistines
15Once again there was a battle between the Philistines and Israel. David went down with his men to fight against the Philistines. He became very tired.16Ishbi-Benob belonged to the family line of Rapha. The tip of his bronze spear weighed 3.5 kilograms. He was also armed with a new sword. He said he would kill David.17But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to save David. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. Then David’s men made a promise. They said to David, ‘We never want you to go out with us to battle again. You are the lamp of Israel’s kingdom. We want that lamp to keep on burning brightly.’18There was another battle against the Philistines. It took place at Gob. At that time Sibbekai killed Saph. Sibbekai was a Hushathite. Saph was from the family line of Rapha.19In another battle against the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan killed Goliath’s brother. Elhanan was the son of Jair from Bethlehem. Goliath was from the city of Gath. His spear was as big as a weaver’s rod.20There was still another battle. It took place at Gath. A huge man lived there. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. So the total number of his toes and fingers was 24. He was also from the family of Rapha.21He made fun of Israel. So Jonathan killed him. Jonathan was the son of David’s brother Shimeah.22Those four Philistine men lived in Gath. They were from the family line of Rapha. David and his men killed them.
